Summary

Introduction

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) form a fundamental basis of 21st century health care systems. It is a Department of Health (DoH) based national requirement to collect PROMs [1]. Scarf osteotomy is often described as safe, giving better aesthetic and functional results than other options for hallux valgus treatment. It is associated with early recovery and return to work [5]. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are important in modern healthcare systems. Previous studies on PROMs in halluxvalgus (HV) surgery show positive outcomes. We investigated the relationship between radiological correction and PROMs in hallux-valgus surgery
